Six months old?!?!? It’s unbelievable how quickly babies grow up! We knew Isabel before she was even born. See, were knew her parents even before they were married! We met Michelle and Bill just after they were engaged in 2003. We LOVED these two and scheduled an engagement session for them the next summer. They’re incredibly beautiful and so passionate and we were tipped off to how much fun they were when they were up for all kinds of cool photos at the La Perla storefront in downtown Boston. (Remember that??) Then we were all caught in a blizzard at their wedding in March of 2005. I’m not exaggerating when I say blizzard, either. It was definitely a blizzard and still one of the most beautiful weddings because of it, too. Our engagement session antics carried over to the wedding when - in the middle of the snowstorm - Michelle and Bill insisted we all go outside for some photos and a snowball fight. To this day, some of my favorite wintertime photos are from that snowball fight!
Then we got the news that they were having a baby! So we stopped by again soon after Isabel was born for her newborn session. Even though Isabel wasn’t feeling too well and Michelle was exhausted from being up every night with her, you would never have known it because we had an such incredible session! So incredible that one of Isabel’s photos from that session can be found in our gallery on our main website and she’s the featured photo on the front of our gift certificates as well! So when she reached that big six-month milestone, the only way to celebrate was to get together for another session, of course! And here she is! Michelle and Bill told us how much she loved being outside and especially in the grass, so they thought of this great little park and farm stand near their home. It was absolutely perfect and Isabel loved it. Here are some more of our favorites! Here is Michelle snuggling with her during a little break in the action:
Isabel’s cousin, Jamison, also came along and and we were able to get some great images of the two of them together. We’ve known Jamison for a little while, too, and just love her to pieces. She’s got this spunk and energy that just makes you giggle everytime she says something. The chickens at this little farm sure got their exercise trying to keep away from Jamison! Here’s one of my favorites of her as well. I love that little tiny tongue!
And here’s one our absolute favs. We walked over to a playground and Bill had Isabel laughing out loud everytime he lifted her up like this. It was just priceless!
It was so great seeing you all again. We can’t believe how much Isabel has grown in just a few months! I’m afraid to think about how big she’ll be the next time we get together. We can’t wait to see those new teeth when they come in!
